During Passover, when Jews eat unleavened bread called matzo, pizza has become a popular dish. Ten-year-old Hudson Greenstein started selling matzo pizza after being inspired at a local restaurant and has expanded to two locations this year. Matzo, a staple of the holiday, has a long history of being used in creative ways, such as in ancient pita-like forms. While some Hasidic Jews avoid adding liquids to matzo, many others have embraced matzo pizza as an American Jewish recipe. The dish can be made with jarred tomato sauce and store-bought cheese, or with homemade sauce and quality ingredients for a more sophisticated taste.
